Asilah Day Trip
Portuguese ramparts, summer murals and grilled fish by the harbour.
6–7 h Up to 7 passengers From 1,000 MAD per vehicle
Forty minutes down the Atlantic coast, Asilah is the calm counterpoint to Tangier: a tidy white-and-blue medina wrapped in 15th-century Portuguese ramparts, with walls repainted by artists every summer.
Wander the lanes and the sea bastion at your own pace, then sit down by the harbour for the catch of the day. On the way back, we stop at a beach or a café depending on the hour and the light.

Questions
Is Asilah worth a day trip?
Yes — it’s small, relaxed and very photogenic, a perfect contrast with the energy of Tangier.
Can we combine Asilah with something else?
Yes: Asilah pairs well with the Caves of Hercules on the way back, or with Larache further south. Ask us for a combined price.
Is the price per person?
No — the price is for the whole private van, for up to 7 people.
